Making Movie Merriment For Christmas

Every Christmas season there are some heartfelt movies that will tug at your heartstrings, but then there are some very silly movies filled with physical, slapstick comedy to tickle your funny bone. There will be one out soon this year starring Danny DeVito about neighbors who compete for the very best Christmas decorations. Movies of Christmas pasts include one with Jamie Lee Curtis and another which appealed to the under 30 set called "Just Friends". They all had the same thing in common, someone's Christmas tree gets destroyed somewhere in the plot, but each and every movie is just a mere carbon copy of the original, "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" starring the one and only Chevy Chase. No one can destroy a Christmas tree like Chevy and no one ever will. So, while we have to endure silly Christmas movies, year after year, you have two choices: you can spend $10 to see the wannabe or you can rent the original for a few bucks and enjoy a nice cold one in your Melk mug and have a very Merry Christmas.
